A Hint to the Grand Jury.
Mr. Editor :
It is said that there is a certain
stretch of public road from Dan
bury to Walnut Cove which has
not been worked for several years.
It is thought that (his matter will
be presented to the grand jury at
the next term of the Superior
Court, next week. There is a
popular idea in some sections that
the failure to work a public road
on the part of an overseer is not
actionable. Which of course is
lan egregious error. We do not
know who is the responsible party
in the matter of (he Walnut Cove
ruud, but it is very certain that it:
is in a dangerous and shameful
condition, and has been so for a
long time, and that if a serious
accident should result on it, that
a criminal action would lie against
the overseers and the supervisors,
besides a civil action against the
county commissioners. Another
thing, no person who serves on
the grand jury at the next term of
the court will have done his duty
if he wilfully allows the matter to
escape attention— if he knows of
any case in which there has been
a wilful disregard of the law, and
does uot present and investigate
the Bame, indicting the guilty
parties.
